Really disappointed in the booing. We should be above that rubbish regardless of what views people may have.
Even more disappointed in the performance. I honestly can't see things getting better under this management team. Half-decent players are consistently not playing to their potential. Most are struggling with the basics when they pull on the green shirt. They are lacking in cohesion and direction and it looks like the players have lost the will to live under MON. Last night I was perplexed to see Hendrick playing as a deep sitting midfielder in the second half. Stevens should have started wing-back, Brady further forward instead of McClean. When Whelan went off the obvious like-for-like switch should have been Williams.
I took a screen shot half way through the second half. Curtis was fed with a through ball and he was in possession maybe 20 years from goal, a bit wide of the box. He had one player within ten yards. Hendrick, Hourihane and Brady(?) were lined up neatly in a straight line 5 yards inside our own half. Said it all to me. Either too lazy (unlikely) or just too conservative or afraid to get forward in support and offer options. Any time we got the ball last night we laboured to work it wide and run into blind alleys - and that was our best passages of play.
There were some shocking home performances in the 80s but honestly, I think this is as bad as at any time I've been watching the team, nearly 40 years now.
